Does anyone know what the situation is re COVID immigration/entry restrictions and student visas? Are the US even issuing student visas at this time? If travel restrictions on China/Europe/affected countries continue into summer, will students from these areas even be able to enrol this year?

Hi! It is hard to say what the impact will be for this coming fall, but I can give you some insight into what is going on on campus right now. Essentially, we are all on remote classes until at least April 27th, the will be deciding on whether or not to extend that timeline on April 17th. A lot of students have gone home to their families, and some international students may leave as well so the administration has said that if we resume in person classes later this quarter, students who have left campus will still be able to join remotely. I would think that if this extends into the next academic year that they will offer the same deal.(speculation but i think reasonable) Basically, I believe they would allow students who cannot travel to campus yet due to COVID to join for classes remotely until they are able to come to campus in person. So in short, I do think that they will allow international students to enroll even if there are travel restrictions.....but you may be taking class at odd hours until things clear up. Hope this helps.
